Takashi Miike Back in the Red with a Lesson of the Evil

By Uncle Creepy
July 19th, 2012

We told you about Takashi Miike's new film Lesson of the Evil a while ago, and now that a teaser trailer has arrived, we couldn't be more stoked as the Japanese gore-meister is definitely traveling once again on the brutal side of the fence.

The film, an adaptation of Yusuke Kishi’s bestselling 2010 novel Aku no Kyoten, stars Hideaki Ito. A theatrical release is slated for November.

Synopsis
A teacher named Seiji Hasumi is loved by his students and respected by his peers. However, his outward charm masks his true nature. In reality, Hasumi is a psychopath who is unable to feel empathy for other human beings. Specifically, he has a severe antisocial personality disorder. Because of his mental condition, Hasumi chooses to deal with problems like bullying and overbearing “monster parents” the easy way—by systematically murdering his students.
